This simple datapack gives honey blocks the ability to give regen when touched.

Stand on it, head-butt it, poke it with a stick. It's all the same.

Any direction a honey block is approached will give the effect, however you do need to be actually touching the block to get it.

(I mean TOUCHING, not just standing the next block over. You need to be hearing that sweet squelching goodness to have the effect.)
